Today is Thiruvonam, the second day of the Onam festival. People used to wear new clothes, sing songs, play games and a great delicious feast (see screenshot below) consisting of Adapradaman, Upperi, Curries, Pappads, 4 variants of Payasams, Achar and much more.

You will find more information about the preparation of various items shown above at http://www.rediff.com/getahead/2008/sep/12onam.htm

May this Onam bring peace, prosperity, good health and wealth to all Malayalees worldwide.
